Question
where the the madyan city located of shouab alehessalam are the jorden vally shouaib is correct
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.
Madyan is located near the city of Bida‘ in Tabuk province in the northwest of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Rather, the author of Atlas Taareekh Al-Anbiyaa' war-Rusul stated that the houses of Madyan are located in the Bida‘ province itself. Also, it is located near the land of Ma‘aan on the outskirts of Ash-Shaam (Greater Syria) from the direction of Hijaaz land close to the lake of the people of Prophet Lut 
.
It is well known that the Jordan Valley runs from the mouth of the Yarmouk River to the Gulf of 'Aqaba. Accordingly, Madyan is not located in the Jordon Valley, but it is not far away from it.
Allaah Knows best.
